Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Lean ground beef
- 0.5 cup Chopped onion
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Reduced-sodium taco seasoning
- 1 cup Fat-free refried beans
- 0.5 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Light sour cream
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 4 large Whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup Romaine lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
Instructions
In a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook the lean ground beef until browned, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the chopped onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the reduced-sodium taco seasoning and mix well. Remove from heat.
Warm the fat-free refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat until heated through.
To assemble each burrito, lay a whole wheat tortilla on a flat surface.
Spread 1/4 cup of refried beans in the center of the tortilla.
Layer with 1/4 of the cooked beef mixture, followed by 2 tablespoons of reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese.
Add a spoonful of light sour cream and 2 tablespoons of salsa.
Top with 1/4 cup of romaine lettuce and 1/4 cup of diced tomatoes.
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll from the bottom up to enclose the filling.
Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas.
Serve immediately, or wrap individual burritos in foil to keep them warm.
